Thing is people bring up "How can BA be under pressure but Stuart is not when they both started in 2014 and BA has a better win percentage". It is a fair point, though Stuart has a premiership and is a local hero at Canberra, plus the pressure within Canberra is a lot less compared to Parramatta that is smack bang in the middle of Sydney media. Canberra sort of fall off the wayside of news. But on top of that, Stuart has done a great job with the Canberra team he currently has. They are massively overachieving. Where we are underachieving.
At least he seems to have a plan and he's always evolving as a coach. A bunch of new kids coming through, they have planned to regenerate their ageing roster. Can we say the same?

With Matt Arthur, Blaize Guymer and Lomax on board I kind of see a direction but need to clean out some as well.
Matt Arthur and Blaize Talagi are the only two at this stage that i can confidently say will be consistent first graders for years to come. Guymer is a good kid, but is more of a workhorse as oppose to a wrecking ball. He can be a 200 game player but never represent state or country, but will play that much as he is a good leader, can play edge and middle and can also play full 80 making 50 tackles and having 15 runs.
Richie Penisini could be in that same boat as Arthur and Talagi, but haven't seen much of him due to ACL. However, i do feel had he been fit he would have debuted by now.
What are you laughing at Eli, wait until we extend BA to 2030.

I truly think next year is BA last chance lol. Moses Gutho Carty basically have been unavailable this season so I'd give him one last shot next season with Lomax incoming. But that's it for BA
"Can't be bagging players that are under contract & want to leave the club when the club does the very same. I think Matto has a lot to offer & if trained right he would be an asset. "

All good points and he is a raiders legend yeah, still doubt they win a title under him but lol
The deal comes with a gold plated overhead projector for player recruitment

MA, Talagi, Sanders, Guymer, Tuivita and Richie will all be consistent first graders. Pryke and Almadine are good options too.
